start music now
Desperate Characters
Desperate characters
we dance in the dark
trying to capture
that magic, that spark
Wining and dining
and yearning to feel
the way that we did once
when true love was real
Desperate characters
we probe with our eyes
and try to detect there
the truth and the lies
Hoping for something
that can't be replaced
by strangers and others
that time has erased
Desperate characters
we give it a whirl
out there on the floor
the ballroom of the world
Of loving and losing
and losing some more
two ships without anchors
that have crashed on the shore
Still looking for magic
and longing for home
cause a house is just shelter
when you live alone
Desperate characters
trying so to be brave
holding onto a moment
that the heart cannot save
Then the music, it stops now
and the bright lights come on
in the dark, I was hopeful
but I'm leaving alone.
